salad dressings

Ok so I have been craving a Caesar salad for the longest time. Well tomorrow I am supposed to go with my coworkers to a restaurant that has my favorite caesar salad. Are bottled dressings required to be pasteurized?? I was thinking I would just go and take my own bottle of dressing so that I can eat the salad. Any help would be great!!!!

I had a ceasar salad last night and didn't even think about the dressing. I imagine most restaurants use pasturized for their standard fare, but maybe ask the restaurant or the cook there? they'd probably be able to tell you.

I just found out about this myself after eating a ceasar salad at a restaurant last weekend! Eep! I truly did not know the recipe calls for raw egg.

I did some googling, though, and it turns out that most restaurants do use pasteurized dressing, and in some places (such as the state I live in - CA) restaurants are banned from using raw eggs in their dressings due to the risk of salmonella.

Just ask if they make it or if it comes out of a bottle. I love Panera Breads ceaser salad but I held up the line last time asking about it. Unfortunately they make their own :( but chain restaurants are most likely fine. Just ask :)

Pretty much everything bottled from a grocery store is going to be pasteurized. I also wouldn't worry too much about that anyway, my aunt lived in France through a whole pregnancy and at TONS of un-pasteurized stuff and was just fine.

Ladies, if something isn't pasteurized and contains a raw ingredient such as egg, it has to be pasteurized. How else would a raw ingredient be able to be shelf stable? There are plenty of "no egg" Caesar dressing recipes on the Internet as well.
